Banksy • Cans Festival • 2008, by Zippy on May 2, 2008 23:01:54 GMT 1, Great night. amazing work by all concerned.
Well done to the troops at POW and all of those involved who have/will make this an amazing part of art history. POW have taken a verbal beating on here for far too long now. THere were NO prints for sale tonight, this was not to make a profit.
It was a reminder of what this scene is about and we need to get it back to.
Great Art, Great Artists and a great location.
We will all be talking about it for years.
I can not recommend enough to you all to do whatever you can to get to London to see it.
Its directly behind Waterloo station so very easy by train.
I'm going back to take all of the little Zippy's but feel tomorrow will be mobbed.
Sunday / Monday will be quieter.

Banksy • Cans Festival • 2008, by teatwosugars on May 2, 2008 23:21:53 GMT 1, I don't think selling prints is really what this is about. IMO its about using the banksy name to raise the profile of other street artists as well as being a celebration of street art. Somehow a print release wouldn't really be fitting. Just take a camera with you instead.

Great posts. Exactly what I was trying to get at earlier in the thread.

You have always been a fair judge zippy. Congrats to POW/Banksy for what looks to be a fantastic event. 4 days ago someone mentioned the cansfestival, 4 days later and it's all over the news, 3rd page of the evening standard with estimates of 75000 people to visit over the long weekend.
I'd say thats quite an achievement in just a few days.

Banksy • Cans Festival • 2008, by jcjcjc on May 2, 2008 23:51:46 GMT 1, I think this show will do for the Street Art scene what the Sensation Show did for the YBA et al. Everyone has heard of Banksy but this raises the profile of so many other artists and shows the world just how good and organised it can be when it wants to be. Leake Street will be the Louvre for Urban Art. A massive congratulations to all who set this up!

Good analogy - Banksy, Louvre, Leake Street - all a bit 'underground'.

2 great comments from you guys. The concept and reality of the cans festival is a great thing. Where were all the Ken Voters, i'm gutted for Ken but maybe Banksy will give him a job on the next show ; )

Banksy • Cans Festival • 2008, by willamsa on May 3, 2008 1:07:41 GMT 1, I hardly ever post but was lucky enough to get an invite tonight and have to say it was amazing . . . this has raised the bar to almost unreachable heights . . .
the variety of artists and the quality of work was impressive, all the favourites and a few unknown to me, will also wait until 10 to post photos . . . if you go you must take your camera
going to the next gallery show is going to be like going to a pet shop after getting back from safari . . .
